**London (hybrid)**

**£39,210 - £40,336**

**ActionAid UK is a member of the ActionAid Federation, an international charity that works with women and girls living in poverty. ** As part of the ActionAid Federation, we work with women and girls, our partners, and dedicated staff in 43 countries to end violence and fight poverty so that all women, everywhere, can create the future they want.

**Do you have excellent humanitarian grant management experience?**

**Have you successfully built relationships with a variety of stakeholders in the humanitarian sector?**

**Are you a keen advocate of women and girls’ rights in emergencies?**

Then we'd love to hear from you.

Within our Policy, Advocacy and Programmes department, our Humanitarian Programme Quality and Assurance Specialists work closely with ActionAid colleagues and sponsors around the world in ensuring that donor-funded programmes are managed effectively and improve the lives of women and girls.

This role will utilise your existing humanitarian grant management and donor knowledge to support ActionAid’s delivery of multiple projects in line with the Core Humanitarian Standards Group Verification process. Typical Donors could include: Start Network, DEC, FCDO; and grants can range between £500,000 to £5,000,000.

To be successful as our Programme Quality and Assurance Specialist, you must be able to demonstrate a high level of competency in managing relationships and negotiations with donors and partners; along with the ability to build a rapport with a range of individuals.

As a PQA Specialist, you will play a pivotal role in multiple, international projects and be supported to develop your grant and financial management skills. You will be at the forefront of driving funding towards innovative work and projects seeking to bring about change through feminist and decolonial approaches, supporting women and girls around the world.

**The postholder will be expected to travel frequently to support programme implementation and response, sometimes at short notice, and to post-disaster environments or areas of insecurity.**

**Some things to consider**:
ActionAid is committed to supporting flexible working. If you would like to discuss flexible working options, including the possibility of a job share for this role, there will be space to do so during the interview process.

ActionAid UK has a hybrid working policy for many of our roles. The requirement will vary from team to team and the responsibilities of individual roles. As a minimum, all colleagues are expected to attend the office 12 days per year, plus additional time for induction, training, and “Company Connection days.” Some roles may require in-office attendance on **all **days and if so, these will clearly be marked as in-office roles. **Please note that ActionAid UK does not offer fully remote working options**. We encourage you to discuss hybrid working expectations at interview.

Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging are key to our organisational culture.  We are on a journey to become not only an anti-racist organisation but one that proudly celebrates the diversity of all applicants and employees.  We look forward to you bringing your full self to work, proudly sharing your unique perspective and helping us to shape our combined future.
